サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In June 1816, gothic writer Mary Shelley and her soon-to-be husband Percy Shelley stayed with Lord Byron in Cologny on the shores of Lake Geneva. It was at the Villa Diodati where the first seeds of her novel Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus, were sown when Byron challenged each member of the group to write a ghost story
In 2018 the Martin Bodmer Foundation in Geneva held a special exhibition to mark the 200th anniversary.
Katy Dartford went along to find out more.

2024 is the bicentenary of Lord Byron's death
